If You Fall by Karen Darke |
|
Another truly inspiring story is told in Karen Darke’s If You Fall (O Books, £9.99). Paralysed in a rock climbing accident when she was 21, Karen fought back to go on to organise and take part in adventure holidays that I wouldn’t even dream of tackling.
I’m sorry my idea of fun is lying on a beach outside a vegan restaurant somewhere hot and eco-friendly, not hand cycling in the Himalayas or Kayaking in the Canadian artic. This book, however, is really about Karen discovering and exploring her spiritual identity. Inspiring and rewarding this is a great read!
